Gap junctional intercellular communication plays an important role in the maintenance of
cellular homeostasis. The flow of chemical messengers through gap junctions, gap …

Gap Junction-Mediated Intercellular Signalling in Health and Disease Chairman: Norton B.
Gilula 1999 The last few years have seen considerable progress in this field, and exciting …

Gap junctions are sites on the cellular membrane with intercellular channels build up by
twelve protein subunits called connexins. Each connected cell contributes with a …

Gap junctions are highly conserved structures that provide cells with a direct pathway for
sharing ions, nutrients and other intracellular messengers, thus participating to the …

Intercellular communication in many organs is maintained via intercellular gap junction
channels composed of connexins, a large protein family with a number of isoforms. This gap …

Gap junctions (GJ) provide direct intercellular communication. The structures underlying
these cell junctions are membrane-associated channels composed of six integral membrane …

Gap junctions are essential to the function of multicellular animals, which require a high
degree of coordination between cells. In vertebrates, gap junctions comprise connexins and …

Gap junctions contain cell–cell communicating channels that consist of multimeric proteins
called connexins and mediate the exchange of low-molecular-weight metabolites and ions …

Gap junction channels interconnect cells by forming a direct link to enable the diffusion of
small aqueous molecules and ions from one cell to its nearest neighbor. This enables both …

The irnportance of intercellular communication to complex cellular processes such as
development, differentiation, growth, propagation of electrical impulses and diffusional …
